JACKSONVILLE, ALABAMA 7 BOARD OF TRUSTEES THE HONORABLE BOB RILEY Governor of Alabama, President Congressional Name Address District JAMIE (RED) ETHEREDGE Gulf Shores First G. MACK ROBERTS Montgomery Second BOBBY N. KENNAMER Anniston Third WILLIAM RONALD (RONNIE) SMITH Oxford Third JIM FOLSOM Cullman Fourth ROBERT (BUD) CRAMER Huntsville Fifth JIM BENNETT Homewood Sixth GLADYS CARLISLE Tuscaloosa Seventh RANDY OWEN Fort Payne At Large DR. JOSEPH B. MORTON, Interim State Superintendent of Education, Ex officio HISTORY OF JACKSONVILLE STATE UNIVERSITY From modest beginnings, Jacksonville State University has evolved into the educational center of Northeast Alabama. The Alabama Legislature in the 1882-83 session created a state normal school when Governor Edward O’Neal signed into law a bill creating the school on February 22, 1883. Jacksonville State Normal School acquired the facilities and equipment of Calhoun College, consisting of twelve acres of land and a two-story brick building. The Board of Directors elected James G. Ryals, Jr., as the first president. The school opened with three instructors: W. J. Borden, Mathematics; Eliza A. Bowen, English; and Ida J. Woodward, primary department. As stipulated in the establishing act, the Normal School conducted a preparatory school for children of the town and surrounding areas. At the end of the first year, on August 15, 1884, William Mark Haymes, President of the Board of Directors, reported that funds totaling $4,751.25 had been received, including $2,500 from the state, that 25 students were enrolled in the normal school, and that 222 were in the preparatory school. The Normal School remained in operation until 1930 when it became Jacksonville State Teachers College, reflecting an increasing higher education role for the Institution. Five years later, the College earned regional accreditation from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. In 1957, the name again changed, to Jacksonville State College, when the first graduate program — the master’s degree in elementary education — was created. On August 2, 1966, the Legislature authorized the State Board of Education to elevate the College to university status. On August 17, 1967, the Legislature established an independent Board of Trustees for the University and divested jurisdiction from the State Board of Education. Jacksonville State University has been served by eleven presidents: James G. Ryals, Jr. (1883-1885), J. Harris Chappell (1885-1886), Carlton Bartlett Gibson (1886-1892), J. B. Jarrett (1892-1893), Jacob Forney IV (1893-1899), Clarence William Daugette (1899-1942), Houston Cole (1942-1971), Ernest Stone (1971-1981), Theron E. Montgomery (19811986), Harold J. McGee (1986-1999), and William A. Meehan (1999-present). Jacksonville State University has developed into a modern regional university serving Northeast Alabama on a 318-acre campus with 56 buildings. In addition, the University operates an off-campus center at JSU-Gadsden. Through its programs of teaching, research, and service, Jacksonville State University has served the region and state for more than one hundred years. 8 JACKSONVILLE STATE UNIVERSITY MISSION STATEMENT AND PURPOSES MISSION STATEMENT Jacksonville State University is a public, comprehensive teaching institution that provides educational, cultural and social experiences for a diverse undergraduate and graduate student population.

APPLICATION PROCEDURES I. Freshman Admissions High School graduates are admitted on the basis of both an acceptable high school record and the score on the American College Test (ACT) or Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT). Jacksonville State University admits students who have demonstrated that they JACKSONVILLE, ALABAMA 11 are capable of college level work and have a reasonable chance to complete successfully a college degree. Students without academic skill deficits, or with minimal academicskill deficits (verbal communication, mathematics and reading) as demonstrated by high school record, ACT or SAT scores and other reasonable evidence are admitted unconditionally. Students with moderate academic-skill deficiencies (which are likely to require more than one semester for successful remediation) will be conditionally admitted. Conditionally admitted students must be enrolled continuously in prescribed developmental studies courses and other assigned activities until all academic-skills deficiencies are eliminated. Students with severe academic-skills deficiencies who are likely to require more than two semesters to eliminate all deficiencies are not eligible for unconditional or conditional admission, but may apply for admission to a summer developmental studies program — ExSEL. All students admitted unconditionally or conditionally must successfully eliminate all academic-skills deficiencies within twelve months of admission or, if not enrolled on a continuing basis, the first twenty-four hours of attempted academic credit. A. An official high school transcript showing the date of graduation and type of diploma received. Students are required to graduate with at least a standard diploma. 1. Students may request a transcript from their high school at any time to be mailed to JSU. However, a complete transcript showing type of diploma received and date of graduation must be sent immediately after graduation. This transcript must be mailed to JSU directly from the high school or placed in a sealed envelope from the high school. 2. Students applying for admission are advised to emphasize the following subjects in their high school programs: English, social studies, mathematics, foreign languages, and the natural sciences. 3. Applicants who are not high school graduates may enter the freshman class if they have passed the high school level General Education Development (GED) test and present an official score report of their test results. The score report should be mailed to JSU directly from the testing agency or should be placed in a sealed envelope from the testing agency. B. ACT or SAT scores. 1. Applicants are required to produce official scores from either the ACT or SAT. These scores must be mailed to JSU directly from the testing agency or must be on an official high school transcript. Scores on these tests are used as a basis for admission and placement in English and mathematics courses. Applicants presenting scores which indicate they can do acceptable work at Jacksonville State University may be admitted directly. Alternative methods to satisfy admission standards may be considered by the Admissions Committee. 2. The freshmen who have applied for admission but have not attended high school or a secondary education institution in eight (8) or more years or are at least 25 years of age are exempt from the ACT or SAT requirement listed in B1. First-time students in this category may choose to take the ACT for placement into appropriate levels of English and mathematics courses. Students in this category who do not choose to take the ACT for placement in English and mathematics courses should contact the English and Math departments for a placement test. C. ExSEL: Academically under prepared students who are deemed capable of developing the knowledge, skills and habits necessary for success in college and who demonstrate the commitment to develop their potential may be admitted to ExSEL (Experiencing Student Success in Education and Life). ExSEL is a summer program of six weeks providing intensive preparation in basic academic-skills and non-academic-skills (e.g., study skills, career orientation, and interpersonal skills) necessary for success in college. Students may be conditionally admitted to JSU upon successful completion of ExSel or upon obtaining the minimum required ACT score. 12 JACKSONVILLE STATE UNIVERSITY Freshman Admissions Categories Qualifications Requirements Unconditional Admission Minimal, or no, academic skill deficiencies.

Successful completion of the GED is acceptable in lieu of high school graduation. II. Transfer Student Admissions Transfer students are required to present one official transcript from each institution previously attended. These transcripts must be mailed to JSU directly from the institution or placed in a sealed envelope from the institution. If less than 24 semester hours are accepted, students must also fulfill all requirements listed under the Freshman Admissions section. If 24 semester hours or more are accepted, transfer students who do not have credit for EH 101 or MS 102 may take the ACT/SAT for placement in the appropriate English or Math courses. Those who choose not to take the ACT/SAT for placement purposes may contact the English and/or Math Departments for a placement test. The University reserves the right to accept or deny course work presented for transfer. Typically, all course work from regionally accredited institutions will be accepted as fair equivalent courses at JSU provided JSU has an equivalent course at the appropriate level. Courses not having fair equivalents at JSU may or may not be accepted as an elective. The transfer decision will be made on a course-by-course basis by the Registrar’s Office during the credit evaluation process. Course work presented for transfer from institutions not accredited by a regional association may be considered for transfer. For additional information, students may contact the Registrar’s Office. All grades attempted from other institutions will be used in computing grade-pointaverage at JSU. Students transferring course work are advised the grade-point-average requirements will be based on overall GPA requirements as well as resident requirements when considering admission to or retention in certain programs, major and minor requirements, and graduation requirements. Grades of “D” will be accepted except in EH 101 and EH 102 and MS 101. However, a course in which a “D” grade has been earned is not creditable toward the major and/or minor requirements and may not be creditable toward some specific program requirements. JACKSONVILLE, ALABAMA 13 Students may transfer from a two-year college at any time. Although an unlimited number of hours are acceptable from a two-year college, students must earn a minimum of 64 semester hours from a four-year college or university, 32 of which must be earned from JSU. Therefore, JSU recommends that each transfer student not earn credit beyond 64 semester hours (96 quarter hours) at the two-year college. Students under academic probation at other accredited institutions are admissible to JSU on probation, provided they are eligible to return to that institution. Students under academic suspension at the last institution attended may not be admitted to JSU. They may, however, petition the Admissions Committee for consideration of their individual situation. Students under disciplinary probation or suspension at other institutions are not eligible to enroll at JSU. Transfer students have many opportunities to register for classes. Consult the schedule booklet for the specific dates of registration. Schedules are posted on the web and are available in print. The summer and fall schedules are available by February, and the spring schedule is available by November of each year. After advisement, transfer students may register via the web at www.jsu.edu or on the telephone registration system (256-782-2830) at JSU. AGSC/STARS Alabama Articulation and General Studies Committee/Statewide Transfer and Articulation Reporting System (AGSC/STARS) is part of a system created by statewide legislation designed to help a student transfer from one college to another. This system is a course-by-course layout of Alabama two-year and four-year institutions, and is designed to assist students with questions pertaining to credit hour and course transfers. This information is available on the internet at www.jsu.edu/transfer. III. International Student Admissions A. International students who have never attended college in the United States must present a score of 500 or above on the paper-based or 173 on the computer-based TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) taken within the last two years. In lieu of the TOEFL, an international student may present a composite score of 19 on the ACT or a combined verbal and math score of 900 on the SAT. These test scores should be sent to JSU directly from the testing agency. In addition to the test score requirement, an international student must present an official transcript or document proving graduation from secondary school. These documents must be mailed to JSU directly from the secondary school or placed in a sealed envelope from the school. B. International students who have attended a regionally accredited institution in the United States must present official transcripts from each institution attended. Test score requirements may be waived if the student has at least 24 acceptable semester hours, including 6 semester hours of Freshman English Composition. Students who do not meet the 24 hour requirement must meet the requirements listed above in (A). C. International students are required to complete a form titled “International Student Financial Statement.” This form is required to provide documentary evidence showing adequate financial resources are available to attend the university. D. International students interested in a one to two year cultural exchange program should refer to page 52 for information on the International House Program. The application for admission will not be accepted without the documents listed above and the $20 (U.S.) application fee. Application materials must be received sixty days prior to the start of the semester for which the student is applying. Students must also provide documentation of health insurance prior to registration for classes. International students wishing to have credits earned at a foreign institution of higher learning evaluated must first enroll as a student, meeting all entrance requirements. A student must submit official transcript(s) from all institutions attended. These official transcript(s) must be accompanied by English translation(s) and an Evaluation of Foreign Education Credentials prepared by an evaluator acceptable to JSU. Students are required to submit a course-by-course evaluation. These evaluators include: 14 JACKSONVILLE STATE UNIVERSITY Education Credentials Evaluators, Inc. P.O.

A special/transient student must apply for admission and submit the non-refundable $20.00 application fee. The student must present evidence of his/her current academic standing (official transcript or letter of good standing) in support of the application. The transcript or letter of good standing should be mailed to JSU directly from the institution or be placed in a sealed envelope from the institution. International transient students must meet requirements for regular international student admission. Special/transient students will not be considered degree-seeking students at JSU but rather taking courses for personal enrichment and/or to transfer to the institution where the degree is being pursued. Transient students planning to transfer JSU credits to another institution should consult the appropriate dean or registrar to determine the acceptability of the JSU work to the institution where the degree is being pursued. V. Accelerated Pre-College Program Admissions/Dual Enrollment A student may be admitted as an accelerated high school student by meeting the following conditions: 1. Applicants must have earned a “B” average or better in ninth grade work. 2. Applicants must have completed the ninth grade before enrolling as accelerated students. 3.

Accelerated students are subject to all rules and regulations of the University as well as its rights and privileges. Accelerated students may register for 100 or 200 level courses in any academic field in which the student has completed high school requirements and/or prerequisites. The accelerated high school student may enroll in no more than six (6) semester hours of college courses during fall or spring semesters. During each summer semester 7 hours is the maximum load. Accelerated students must maintain a “C” average or better in all attempted coursework and a “B” average in high school. COLLEGE CREDIT FOR ACCELERATED STUDENTS WILL BE AWARDED ONLY AFTER THE STUDENT HAS GRADUATED FROM HIGH SCHOOL AND HAS COMPLETED ALL FRESHMAN ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS TO JACKSONVILLE STATE UNIVERSITY. OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE TO STUDENTS UNTIL ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS ARE SATISFIED. VI. Early Admissions To accommodate high school students with exceptional ability, Jacksonville State University considers them on an individual basis for early admission. Students who wish to enter college after completing the 11th grade in high school must present evidence that admission to college would be more beneficial than continuation in high school. Such individuals are considered for admission as regular students. Minimum requirements for early admission include a grade of “B” on academic subjects in high school and an ACT composite score of 26. To consider an applicant, the following material must be presented to the Office of Admissions for review by the Admissions Committee. 1. A letter of request from the applicant. 2. One copy of the official high school transcript. 3. The official ACT report. 4. A letter of recommendation from the high school principal or superintendent. 5. A letter of approval from parent(s) or guardian. 6. A completed application to the University with the non-refundable application fee. ORIENTATION AND ADVISEMENT Newly admitted students are encouraged to attend an orientation/advisement session prior to the semester they wish to attend (See section: APPLICATION PROCEDURES). The orientation/advisement session includes a brief introduction to campus life, advisor assignment, academic advisement, schedule preparation, and registration. Following registration, students can obtain an I.D. card, post office box, and automobile registration. Questions regarding orientation should be directed to the Office of Student Life.

Small increases are required as costs rise; however, every effort is made to keep fees and charges at a minimum. PAYMENTS In order to confirm registration, students must pay all tuition and fees by the appropriate due date, which is published in the Class Schedule Booklet. Students may access their account information or make payments through the Student Access System (www.jsu.edu), or through the In-Touch telephone system. Visa, MasterCard and Discover are accepted. Accounts may also be paid at the Bursar’s Office or by mail (must be RECEIVED in the Bursar’s Office by the due date). Long distance telephone charges, traffic fines, library fines, etc. are due upon receipt. Students are expected to meet all financial obligations by the appropriate due date. The University reserves the right to deny admission and withhold transcripts of any student who fails to promptly meet his/her financial obligations to the University. It is each student’s responsibility to be informed of all registration and fee payment dates, deadlines, and other requirements by referring to the official calendar of events in the catalogue, announcements printed in the class schedule booklets, and posted on the JSU website www.jsu.edu, or other information disseminated from time to time. When necessary, students should inform their parents of the deadline dates, and the necessity for meeting them. Any collection costs or attorney fees necessary for the collection of any debt to the University will be charged to and paid by the debtor. Questions about charges or refunds should be addressed to the Bursar’s Office. CHECKS In the event a student presents a check which is not honored by the drawee’s bank, JSU will charge the current maximum returned check fee allowed by law for each returned check. Enforced withdrawal from the University may result if a returned check is in payment of tuition and/or fees. After having two (2) checks returned, privilege of paying by check is forfeited. No counter checks will be accepted. The University is unable to cash personal checks, but will cash money orders or cashiers checks up to $100.00. INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS International students are required each semester to pay tuition, fees and residence hall charges in U.S. dollars to confirm registration. International students must conform to United States Customs and Immigration Services (USCIS) regulations concerning the USCIS Form I-20, section 8, for financial assurance. All international students are also required to carry health and repatriation insurance. FEES The following fees and charges are in effect at this time. However, since the catalogue must be published well in advance of the next school year, it is not always possible to anticipate changes. Thus the fee schedule may have to be revised.

JACKSONVILLE, ALABAMA 21 STUDENT FINANCIAL AID Jacksonville State University offers a broad program of financial aid to assist as many qualified students as possible. Since the University cannot meet the financial needs of all applicants, students are also urged to investigate outside sources of aid. Most aid programs are based on the individual need of the applicant. Demonstrated financial need is determined by completing an independent, standardized need analysis form called the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The JSU Title IV Code is 001020. The FAFSA contains questions pertaining to the student’s assets, income, year in college, etc. Students who are dependent on their parents must also submit information concerning parental income, assets, and other items. Once the applicant completes the FAFSA, it is to be mailed to the processor or submitted via the internet (ww.fafsa.ed.gov). In approximately four to six weeks, the processor sends the applicant a Student Aid Report and also forwards information to the college(s) the applicant lists to receive the data. It is the student’s responsibility to contact the Financial Aid Office after receiving this information. The Student Aid Report is used to determine eligibility for the Federal Pell Grant and other financial aid programs, as it contains the expected family contribution to the applicant’s cost of attendance. Applicants and their parents are cautioned to complete all forms as honestly and accurately as possible. Any person who knowingly makes false statements is subject to a fine or imprisonment or both under provisions of the United States Criminal Code. Applicants are also reminded that they may be asked to substantiate information they submit on the need analysis. Each year the federal government selects approximately 30% of all applicants for verification. Those selected for verification must provide documentation, such as income tax returns, in order to receive financial aid. Note that application for financial aid must be made for each academic year; no awards are automatically renewed from year to year. Although the University accepts applications throughout the academic year, March 15 has been established as the preference deadline for applying for most types of assistance. Those interested in detailed information on federal financial aid should request The Student Guide by writing the Federal Student Aid Information Center, P.O. Box 84, Washington DC 20044. Additional information may also be secured from the University Financial Aid Office, or from the Internet at www.nasfaa.org. Note that information provided herein is of a general nature and is not intended to explain in detail all financial aid programs. Programs described herein are subject to Federal, State, and institutional guidelines and are subject to change without notice. Students who apply for federal assistance are required to use their Social Security number for identification purposes. The U.S. Department of Education’s legal right to require the use of Social Security numbers for eligibility for the Title IV programs is based on Section 484(a)(4)(B) of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended. Complete information on usage of your Social Security number is located in the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. Following is a brief description of the different assistance programs: GRANTS Grants are gifts based on need and do not have to be repaid. Students from low and lower middle income families usually qualify for a grant. Federal Pell Grant The Federal Pell Grant is an entitlement program for undergraduate students who have not earned their first baccalaureate degree. To apply, submit the FAFSA as soon as possible after January 1 and list Jacksonville State University (Code 001020) to receive the report. Also submit a Financial Aid Data Sheet, and any other documentation that is required to the Financial Aid Office preferably by March 15. 22 JACKSONVILLE STATE UNIVERSITY Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) Students who are Pell eligible and who have the greatest demonstrated financial need are given first consideration for this grant. It is restricted to students who have not received their first baccalaureate degree.

Leveraging Educational Assistance Partnership Program (LEAP) Undergraduate students who have not earned their first baccalaureate degree and who have been residents of Alabama for the last three years are eligible to apply for this grant. The grant is restricted to Pell eligible students with the greatest demonstrated financial need. To apply, submit the FAFSA as soon as possible after January 1 and list Jacksonville State University (Code 001020) to receive the report. Also submit a Financial Aid Data Sheet, and any other documentation that is required to the Financial Aid Office preferably by March 15. State Grants from Other Agencies Several other states offer grants for their residents who attend college in other states. Students residing outside Alabama should contact their state grant educational agencies for information on these grants. LOANS The Federal Stafford Loan Program JSU participates in the Federal Stafford Loan Program. Interest rates for the Federal Stafford Loan Program are variable with a cap of 8.25%. Interest is determined quarterly by adding 1.75% to the 91-day Treasury Bill rate during enrollment and 2.3% during repayment. Repayment begins six months after the student’s enrollment drops below half-time status (6 credit hours). There are three types of Federal Stafford Student Loans: Subsidized, Unsubsidized and Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students (PLUS). Federal Stafford Subsidized Student Loan A subsidized loan is a need-based loan. Borrowers who receive this type of loan are not required to pay the interest while he/she is enrolled at least half-time until repayment begins. Federal Stafford Unsubsidized Student Loan An unsubsidized loan is a non-need based program. Borrowers who receive this loan must either pay the interest while enrolled or have the interest capitalized for repayment at a later date. Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students (PLUS) A PLUS loan is a non-need based loan. The interest rate is variable with a cap of 9%. It is determined annually by adding 3.10% to the 52-week Treasury Bill rate. Repayment of principal and interest begins 60 days after the loan has been disbursed. Parents interested in obtaining this loan must secure an application from the Financial Aid Office. Students interested in receiving a PLUS loan only must first complete the FAFSA form. To apply for a subsidized or unsubsidized loan, submit a FAFSA as soon as possible after January 1, along with a JSU Financial Aid Data Sheet and any other documentation that is required to the Financial Aid Office. The preference deadline to apply is March 15. The Financial Aid Office will notify applicants of their eligibility.

Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy Federal regulations require students to be making satisfactory academic progress toward graduation while receiving financial aid. Satisfactory academic progress includes both qualitative and quantitative criteria. Jacksonville State University reserves the right to monitor satisfactory academic progress periodically throughout the calendar year. Student Financial Aid Appeals A student seeking the re-establishment of eligibility and reinstatement of financial aid must submit a typed request. A student may appeal the application of any part or all of this policy by writing to: Financial Aid Appeals Committee, JSU Office of Student Financial Aid, 700 Pelham Road N, Jacksonville, AL 36265. The typed appeal must include the student’s name, social security number, the facts upon which the appeal is based and any supporting documentation that can be obtained from a third party. An appeals petition may be obtained in the Financial Aid Office or downloaded from the web at www.finaid.jsu.edu under the student forms icon. The appeals committee meets every two weeks for undergraduate appeals. General Rules Students are responsible for compliance with the Jacksonville State University satisfactory academic progress policy. The Financial Aid Office will attempt to notify students when they are no longer maintaining satisfactory academic progress. A student who repeats or takes courses not related to their degree objective is not making satisfactory academic progress, and is subject to the loss of their student financial aid eligibility. Students who withdraw twice while receiving financial aid will lose their eligibility and must appeal for further aid. Students are cautioned that dropped courses are monitored; those who drop courses after receiving financial aid are subject to losing financial aid eligibility. Students pursuing in excess of two undergraduate degrees are considered not eligible for financial aid. All academic work, to include hours transferred in from other institutions, must be considered when determining federal financial aid eligibility. First year entering freshmen are generally granted two academic semesters of student financial aid eligibility without considering satisfactory academic progress until enrollment of the third semester. Transfer students who initially do not meet the satisfactory academic progress requirements are allowed one conditional semester of eligibility. Requirements for Maintaining Satisfactory Academic Progress Qualitative: Student grade point averages must be maintained in accordance with the University’s grade point requirements00-32 hours attempted—1.50 GPA required 33-64 hours attempted—1.70 GPA required 65-96 hours attempted—1.90 GPA required 97+ hours attempted—2.0 GPA required Quantitative: The quantitative component of satisfactory academic progress includes two monitored elements; time and a minimum percentage of work that a student must successfully complete incrementally. Time: The maximum time allowed for undergraduate programs is 150 percent of the published length of the educational program measured in credit hours attempted. Since most baccalaureate degrees require 128 credit hours, Jacksonville State University has established a policy that allows for a maximum of 192 (128 times 150%) credit hours for undergraduate programs. The additional time allowed for degree completion is due to repeated coursework, changing majors, and the loss of transfer credits. Also included in 26 JACKSONVILLE STATE UNIVERSITY the maximum hours allowed will be coursework that was removed for Second Chance and Academic Forgiveness. Minimum percentage: A student must complete a cumulative total of 67% of his/her course work each year in order to graduate within the maximum time frame. AWARDING, ACCEPTANCE AND PAYMENT OF FINANCIAL AID Students who are determined to be eligible for Federal Pell Grants, Federal Supplemental Grants, Federal Stafford Loans, Leveraging Educational Assistance Partnership (LEAP), and Federal Work Study will receive an Offer of Financial Aid and other documents which must be completed and returned to the Financial Aid Office within fourteen days. This assistance, and scholarships awarded by the University, is credited to the student’s account and a check is issued to the student’s post office box for the balance, if applicable, by the third day of classes. Students may use scheduled financial aid to confirm classes and/or university housing costs if their assistance has been processed by the required payment dates. Scheduled financial aid appears on each student’s bill sent by the Bursar’s Office. More detailed information on paying confirmation costs is located in the class schedule. ENROLLMENT REQUIREMENTS All financial aid commitments are contingent upon actual enrollment at the University. Most programs require at least half-time status (six hours) for eligibility while the Federal Pell Grant Program requires full-time (twelve hours) for maximum benefits during the regular terms. Six hours are considered half-time during the May, Summer I and Summer II terms. Questions pertaining to individual program requirements for maximum benefits should be addressed to the Financial Aid Office. Federal assistance is available only to students who are enrolled in a degree seeking program or who are seeking teacher’s certification. Students must be regularly enrolled in a degree seeking program in order to be eligible for Federal financial aid. Those accepted into the non-traditional undergraduate admission category (students who are allowed to earn up to 15 semester hours prior to fulfilling regular admission) are therefore ineligible until such time as admissions requirements are fulfilled. Other categories of students who are ineligible include those accepted as transient, special, or the accelerated high school program. Federal/State Financial Aid Regulations and the Federal Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 require those students seeking assistance use their social security numbers in applying for aid. Students who withdraw may have to repay a proportionate amount of assistance disbursed for that term. Students who receive a full Federal Pell Grant and then drop to less than twelve hours are reminded that they have used a full semester’s entitlement of the grant. Complete information on Return of Title IV Funds is located in the class schedule booklet. CANCELLATION OF FINANCIAL AID Students scheduled to receive financial aid who do not plan to attend a term for which they have pre-registered must notify both the Financial Aid and Registrar’s Offices prior to the first day of classes to cancel their preregistration and financial aid. STUDENTS WHO FAIL TO DO THIS WILL BE ENROLLED IN CLASSES AND RECEIVE ACADEMIC AND FINANCIAL PENALTY. AID DURING MAY/SUMMER/MARATHON SESSIONS Students who attend during the May/Summer/Marathon (short) sessions may qualify for financial assistance if they have remaining eligibility. Federal Pell Grant recipients who do not attend the Fall and Spring terms full-time may qualify for a grant for these terms. Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants and Alabama State Grants are generally not available. Most assistance is in the form of Federal Direct Student Loans for students who have remaining eligibility (see annual loan limits). While most programs require at least half-time (six hours) for eligibility, short terms are combined into one for eligibility purposes. Because of the brevity of these terms, students are urged to register for all the sessions they plan to attend before submitting JACKSONVILLE, ALABAMA 27 an application since time does not allow for changes to be made once an application is processed. NONDISCRIMINATION All financial aid is awarded without regard to age, sex, race, religion, physical or mental handicap, or national origin. Most financial aid is available only to citizens, nationals, or permanent residents of the United States. The University does provide scholarships to foreign students accepted to its International House Program. Some Aid Subject to IRS Tax Laws Some scholarships and fellowship grants are subject to being reported as income on Federal Income Tax Returns. It is each student’s responsibility to report such assistance in accordance with regulations established by the Internal Revenue Service. Tax Relief Act of 1997 The Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 allows qualified students and/or parents to receive benefits when filing federal income tax returns for certain educational expenses. Taxpayers who are interested in this new legislation, which includes the Hope Scholarship Tax Credit for freshmen and sophomores, and the Lifetime Learning Tax Credit, should contact their tax preparers. There are other provisions for interest paid on educational loans. The University does not provide tax advice and makes no representation on the new tax law. 28 JACKSONVILLE STATE UNIVERSITY THE DEPARTMENT OF UNIVERSITY HOUSING AND RESIDENCE LIFE The Department of University Housing and Residence Life provides a variety of living options. We have traditional residence halls, apartments, and designated family housing that enhance a community environment.

Catalogue Requirements and Time Limits: Degree requirements and other university regulations are established by the catalogue current at the time of initial enrollment. Students may complete requirements under the catalogue current at that time or any later catalogue during his/her JSU enrollment provided the undergraduate degree is completed within twelve (12) years from initial collegiate enrollment. Students not completing the undergraduate degree within twelve (12) years from initial enrollment must update to a more current catalogue as negotiated with the College Dean. Students may not combine components of different catalogues. Students tracking toward transfer enrollment may follow the JSU catalogue in effect at the time of initial collegiate enrollment. However, students should be advised that the twelve (12) year catalogue entitlement would then start upon initial collegiate enrollment rather than initial enrollment with Jacksonville State University. **For education students, one-third of the total hours in each teaching field(s) must be advanced work. In addition, a minimum of 12 hours of advanced level courses in each single comprehensive teaching field, or a minimum of 9 hours of advanced level courses in each dual-teaching field must have been taken at JSU. Student Responsibility for Degree Requirements It is the responsibility of each student to become familiar with degree requirements, graduation requirements, and all other aspects of satisfactory academic progress. Each student is assigned an academic advisor to assist in planning course schedules and give advice on timely graduation planning. However, the ultimate responsibility for understanding and completing degree and graduation requirements lies with the student. STUDENT LOAD 1. The normal student load for those in attendance during the regular session is defined as 16 hours. Full-time status is defined as 12 semester hours, while 21 semester hours is the maximum load. 2.

Students can find their grade point average by dividing the number of hours attempted (all hours for which registered) into the quality points earned. Note section on Replacement Course Policy. 5. Students may be enrolled with more than one college/university at the same time. Students enrolled at both Jacksonville and another college/university are subject to the academic standards and guidelines of Jacksonville State University. 6.

Course loads for the May, Summer I and Summer II will be the same as for JSU, no more than 7 hours may be scheduled in the May term, Summer I term, or Summer II term. No more than 21 hours total may be scheduled in the summer terms. 7. Questions concerning student load may be addressed to the Registrar’s Office. REGISTRATION All students must register before being admitted to classes. The procedure of registering is outlined in the class schedule book. The appropriate Academic Dean and other members of the faculty advise the students in regard to their program of studies. It is urgent that a student register during the days set apart for that purpose. Any student whose credits are being withheld is not eligible for registration. The institution reserves the right to withdraw any course and close or divide sections whenever it is deemed appropriate. JACKSONVILLE, ALABAMA 31 LATE ENTRANCE Students late registering after the third class day (second day in summer school) will not be allowed to register for more than 16 semester hours during the two full length semesters (6 semester hours during each session of summer school) without approval of the appropriate Academic Dean. Students registering on the first day of class or later will be charged a $30.00 late registration fee. Students will be responsible for class work from the first class meeting and incur normal absences for classes missed. AUDITING COURSES A person not regularly enrolled in the University may audit courses with the approval of the instructor of the subject, provided there is space available in the class desired. Auditors must make application for admission and pay the $20.00 non-refundable application fee as well as the $25.00 per semester hour fee. Auditors are listed on the class roll but do not participate in classroom discussions, take tests or final examinations, or make reports, and will receive no credit or grades. Students taking at least three hours for credit may audit other course(s) in the same semester without charge of an audit fee, but must secure permission of the instructor(s) concerned. Once a student registers in a course as an auditor, he/she may not change his/her status in that course to a credit basis. HONORS COURSES The University offers Honor sections of some survey level courses. Those sections will be designated in the class schedule booklet by the letter “H” appearing after the course number. Enrollment eligibility is typically based on ACT/SAT scores or permission of instructor. CHANGES IN REGISTRATION No changes in a student’s program of study will be permitted, nor may courses be dropped, later than the published date. All changes must be made through the Registrar’s Office or the office of the Academic Dean. See schedule book of classes for specified procedure. No student will be dropped from the class roll until the instructor is officially notified by the Registrar’s Office (see section on withdrawal). WITHDRAWALS A student wishing to withdraw from the University within any semester must initially contact the Registrar’s Office in person, or in writing (certified mail suggested). If the student is passing, the permanent record will reflect the notation “withdrew passing,” which indicates good standing and the privilege of readmission. If a student is failing, the permanent record will show the notation “withdrew failing.” This is equivalent to a grade of “F” for calculation of grade point average. Refer to appropriate schedule book for deadline dates for withdrawals without penalty. Prior to the first day of class for a term in which a student pre-registered, he/she may cancel the registration by contacting the Registrar’s Office, requesting cancellation of registration. Written request for cancellation of classes must be made in person or mailed (certified mail suggested) and must be received in the Registrar’s Office prior to the first day of classes. Students who withdraw during a semester may not petition for reinstatement during the semester in which the withdrawal occurred. Students who have not processed an official withdrawal from the University may not petition for grade changes beyond two weeks from the close of that semester. (See refunds section.) Appeals to the policy must be made in writing to the Registrar’s Office. GRADING SYSTEM The following represents the grading system used by the University and the basis upon which quality points are earned. The grade point average (GPA) may be determined by dividing the quality points earned by the number of hours attempted. The 32 JACKSONVILLE STATE UNIVERSITY GPA is not rounded. The GPA is truncated to two places past the decimal for reporting purposes. A— four quality points per hour (90-100) B — three quality points per hour (80-89) C — two quality points per hour (70-79) D— one quality point per hour (60-69). This grade will not be assigned for EH 098, 099, 101, 102, 348, LS 094, 095, 096, 097, 098, 104, MS 100. NC — No credits (0-69). This grade assigned only in English 098, 099, 101, 102, 348, LS 094, 095, 096, 097, 098, 104 and MS 100. F — No quality points (0-59). Failing grades may not be removed from the academic record. This grade will not be assigned for EH 098, 101, 102, LS 094, 095, 096, 097, 098, 104, MS 100. P — Passing. Grade given for selected courses as specified in the course descriptions in this catalogue. The grade of P does not affect the GPA. The grade of F on a pass or fail course is computed as a regular F grade. W/F — Withdrawn failing (counts as an F)1 W/P — Withdrawn passing.1 X— Audit — no credit. The passing grade is “D.” However, a “D” grade will not be allowed to count toward fulfilling required courses in the major, minor, and teaching field. Transferred courses are accepted according to the letter grade sent by the issuing institution regardless of numerical scale on which the letter grade was based. I — Incomplete—non-punitive. Assigning the grade—the grade of “Incomplete” or “I” may be assigned by an instructor if unusual circumstances prevent a student from completing course requirements and only if the student is passing the course. The “I” grade does not immediately affect a student’s grade point average. Completing the course requirements—The student is responsible for arranging to complete the remaining course requirements. One calendar year is allowed for completing the work. Students should not register for the course again. Once the student has completed all course requirements, the instructor submits a grade change to the Registrar’s Office for recording. The Registrar then notifies the student of the grade change. Failure to complete course requirements within one calendar year will result in a grade of “F” being assigned. Requesting extensions—Before the end of one calendar year, the student must submit a written request for an extension to remove an Incomplete. The Instructor, Department Head, and Dean must approve the extension before the Registrar grants an extension of time. The Registrar notifies the student of the action taken on an extension request. If at anytime during the process, as detailed above, the Instructor is not available, the appropriate Department Head and/or Dean will represent the Instructor’s interest. REPLACEMENT COURSE POLICY Students wanting to improve their GPA may repeat courses in which they have earned a grade of “D” or “F” by retaking the course and earning a grade of “C” or better. All attempts will remain on the academic transcript with previous grades replaced with “DR” or “FR”. Only the “C” or better will be used in determining the students GPA with regard to minimum requirements for graduation and academic action (academic warning, probation, etc.). However, all course work, including repeated courses, will be used in determining class rank and graduation honors. This policy is effective for JSU course work only and is not applicable to any work that may have been earned at another institution. This policy is not retroactive to repeated course work prior to the Fall Semester 1997. It should be noted that some programs have higher requirements for admission to, continuation in, and graduation from the program. Therefore, the replacement course flexibility may not apply to all degree programs. Additionally, student athletes will be governed by the NCAA eligibility guidelines. 1 Issued only when the student has properly withdrawn from the university. See section on withdrawal. JACKSONVILLE, ALABAMA 33 DUPLICATION OF COURSES Credit toward graduation for any course, or part of a course, will not be granted twice. This rule applies to all credit, whether the work is pursued at Jacksonville or at other colleges or universities. However, select Jacksonville State University course numbers may be taken more than one time for credit. Any course number which may be earned for credit more than one time will be noted in the course description of the University Catalogue along with the maximum number of times the course number may be utilized for credit without being considered a duplication of credit. Students who duplicate course work should be aware that all work attempted including duplications will be calculated in the grade point average. See Replacement Course on page 32. INSTITUTIONAL CREDIT Institutional credit is awarded for successful completion of development courses. Specifically, these are EH 098, EH 099, LS 094, LS 095, LS 096, LS 097, LS 098. Institutional credit earns the same value as regular academic credit but is not counted toward the minimum hours required for graduation. Institutional credit is considered for full-time status, financial aid, and is included within the overall grade point average. Grades earned for these courses will be “A,” “B,” “C,” OR “NC.” MIDTERM/FINAL GRADES At midterm a grade report is sent to students who currently have a “D” or “F” in any class. This report is delivered to the student’s campus P.O. Box or may be accessed for a limited time via the In-Touch system or the Internet. Students must have their secret code to access grades via In-Touch or Internet. Final grades are mailed to the address of record or may be accessed the same as midterm grades. Midterm grades are reported for Fall and Spring semesters only. FINAL GRADE CHANGE No grade except Incomplete (I) may be changed after the submitting of final grades except in the case of error in communication of student’s grade to the Registrar’s Office. Within six weeks after the turning in of the grades, a teacher desiring to change a grade other than an Incomplete must make written application through the appropriate Department Head to the Registrar’s Office, stating the reason for the error and the need to change. Students who have not processed an official withdrawal from the University may not petition for grade changes beyond two weeks from the close of that semester. GRADE APPEAL The grade appeals process begins with a meeting between the student and the course instructor, and cannot proceed to any further stage unless this requirement is met. The formal process for appealing grades for each college is available in the Dean’s Office. HONORS High scholastic attainment in the University will be recognized in the following ways: 1. Undergraduate student carrying 12 or more hours in the Fall and Spring semesters will be recognized as follows. a) Students who obtain a 4.0 grade point average for that semester will be listed on the President’s List b) Students who obtain a grade point average between 3.5 and 3.99 for that semester will be listed on the Dean’s List. 2. Honors at Graduation a) The designation “cum laude” will be engrossed upon the diplomas of graduating students who obtain an average of 3.5-3.69 quality points on hours attempted. b) The designation “magna cum laude” will be engrossed on the diplomas of graduating students who maintain an average of 3.7 to 3.89 quality points on hours attempted. 34 JACKSONVILLE STATE UNIVERSITY c) The designation “summa cum laude” will be engrossed upon the diplomas of graduating students who maintain an average of 3.9 to 4.0 quality points on hours attempted. d) The designation “special honors in ––––– (the major subject)” will be engrossed upon the diplomas of graduating students who maintain a 3.5 average in the major field of study and a 3.25 overall average, both calculations computed on hours attempted. e) Eligibility for Honors will be determined at the conclusion of the degree program. f) Students who transfer to JSU or JSU students who take courses from another institution must attain the required grade-point-average in both the overall calculation and in the resident calculation for the various honors at graduation. g) Note that the Replacement Course Policy, Academic Forgiveness and Second Chance listed elsewhere in this catalogue, do not apply for purposes of Honors at Graduation. h) The grade point average is truncated to two places past the decimal for reporting purposes and not rounded. UNDERGRADUATE ACADEMIC STANDARDS POLICY SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS Students at the University are required to meet minimum cumulative grade point averages (GPAs) in accordance with the following table. For purposes of determining satisfactory academic progress, May, Summer I, Summer II, and associated marathon terms will be combined as one semester for the purpose of determining readmission after suspension. HOURS ATTEMPTED 0-32 33-64 65-96 97+ REQUIRED MINIMUM CUMULATIVE GPA 1.5 1.7 1.9 2.0 I. ACADEMIC WARNING A student will be placed on “academic warning” at the end of any term in which the cumulative GPA is less than the required minimum cumulative GPA. II. ACADEMIC PROBATION A student will be placed on “academic probation” at the end of any term following a semester on “academic warning” when the cumulative GPA is less than the required minimum cumulative GPA. Students on “academic probation” must limit their course work during fall and spring semesters to no more than twelve semester hours attempted and no more than three semester hours attempted during May, Summer I and Summer II terms. To avoid “academic suspension” a student must maintain a semester GPA of 2.00 or greater or achieve the required minimum GPA. III. ACADEMIC SUSPENSION A student will be placed on “academic suspension” at the end of any term following a semester of “academic probation” when the cumulative GPA is less than the minimum cumulative GPA required. A student placed on “academic suspension” will be suspended for one semester, after which students may return to the University on “academic probation.” (Note: from the last day of Spring Semester to the first day of Fall counts as one semester.) Upon return students must meet a semester GPA of not less than 2.00 or achieve the required cumulative minimum GPA. Students will be placed on “academic suspension” only once. Failure to maintain the required minimum cumulative GPA after “academic suspension” places the student on “academic dismissal.” No credit for the purpose of transfer may be earned from any other institution of higher education while a student is on “academic suspension.” JACKSONVILLE, ALABAMA 35 IV. ACADEMIC DISMISSAL A student will be placed on “academic dismissal” following a semester of “academic suspension” when the suspension semester’s GPA is less than 2.00 or the required cumulative minimum GPA has not been achieved. “Academic dismissal” is for at least one calendar year (twelve months). No credit for the purpose of transfer may be earned from any other institution of higher education while a student is on “academic dismissal.” V. REINSTATEMENT The administration recognizes that extenuating circumstances may have precipitated a student’s poor academic progress. Such circumstances are not excuses for poor academic progress, but may justify consideration for reinstatement. Students suspended or dismissed for academic reasons have the option of petitioning for reinstatement through the Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs. Reinstatement is for one semester only. Subsequent reinstatements must be approved by the Academic Council. Any student under academic suspension or dismissal has the option of petitioning for reinstatement. The reinstated student must maintain a 2.0 grade point average for each attempted course during the reinstated semester. All requirements specified by the Office of Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs must be met. Among these are a course load of no more than the minimum full-time load, consultation with an academic advisor, and any special conditions necessary for the individual’s reinstatement, e.g., specific courses, removal of incompletes, or progress reports. Students not maintaining the GPA requirements or any condition of reinstatement will be suspended or dismissed from the University. The reinstated student in an academic suspension status must remain suspended for one semester. The reinstated student placed in an academic dismissal status must remain dismissed for one calendar year (12 months). Upon reinstatement the student will be ineligible for financial aid, unless an appeal is made to the Financial Aid Appeals Committee. The Office of the Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs is responsible for maintaining an active file on each reinstated student and academic progress is monitored throughout the semester. ACADEMIC FORGIVENESS Occasionally, during a particular semester, students encounter personal, emotional or financial circumstances so devastating that performing academically at a level approximating their usual record of achievement becomes impossible. Normally, these students realize their situations in time to take the advisable course of action and withdraw from the University. If that is not done, however, and a student’s grades for the semester are decidedly below that student’s normal record, the student can petition for academic forgiveness. All course work taken, even hours completed satisfactorily during the semester for which forgiveness is declared, will be disregarded in the cumulative grade point average and as hours earned toward graduation. Academic forgiveness may be granted one time and is applicable only to JSU undergraduate course work. Procedure Students may petition for academic forgiveness for only one semester (any fall, spring, May, or summer term) already completed at the University, provided the student has an overall GPA of 2.0 or higher. Forms and details of this policy are available in the Office of the appropriate College Dean. Undecided majors should obtain this form and submit the petition to the Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs located in Room 201 Bibb Graves Hall. After review of the petition, by the Dean, the Dean’s designee, or the Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs, the Registrar’s Office will adjust the academic record and notify the student. Once granted, academic forgiveness cannot be reversed. Students should be aware that graduate and professional schools often compute grade point average over all hours attempted when considering applicants for admission. Additionally, students should realize that although a semester may have been academically forgiven for 36 JACKSONVILLE STATE UNIVERSITY purposes of completing degree requirements, all JSU course work, including the forgiven semester, will be used in determining honors at graduation. A petition will not be considered if the student has received a degree subsequent to the semester in question. SECOND CHANCE Undergraduate students who have interrupted their college career for a period of at least two consecutive calendar years may apply for the Second Chance Provision. Under this policy all course work completed at an earlier date will be eliminated from computation of the grade point average and cannot be applied toward a degree at Jacksonville State University. Such work will remain on the student’s academic record, but will not be used in the computation of the grade point average for degree requirements. It will, however, be used to compute the grade point average for honors at graduation, class standing, and may be used for admission to graduate studies. Some undergraduate professional programs may require inclusion of all course work for admission to, continuation in, and graduation from the program. Students should seek advice from the appropriate college dean or designated person. Students seeking Second Chance status will be required to follow the catalogue in effect at the time of re-enrollment. Second Chance status may be granted only once and is irreversible. Second Chance also applies to transfer work. Students seeking to apply for Second Chance can obtain a form in the Registrar’s Office. Second chance is not applicable to Teacher Education Program admission. Students granted Second Chance must attend at least 12 hours without financial aid and make at least a “C” (2.0) average to be eligible for appeals status with financial aid. CLASS SIZE The institution reserves the privilege of withdrawing any course in which fewer than ten students have enrolled and of closing or dividing sections whenever it is deemed that the interests of the students will be better served. ATTENDANCE AT CLASSES Specific policies on attendance may be established by individual departments and colleges. These policies will be communicated to the students through the class syllabus at the beginning of the semester. Students are held responsible for attendance at all class meetings. CLASSIFICATION OF STUDENTS Students, including transfers, will be classified as sophomores, when they have earned 32 semester hours; juniors when they have earned 64 semester hours; seniors, when they have earned 96 semester hours. SEQUENCE OF COURSES Prerequisites listed in this catalogue must be observed; students should complete all work on the freshman and sophomore levels before entering advanced courses. University courses numbered 400 and qualifying for G (graduate) classification are open only to those students classified as junior or seniors. CANDIDATES FOR DEGREES Application for admittance to candidacy for a degree may be submitted to the office of the appropriate Dean after junior classification is attained but no later than the last class day preceding the semester in which the student will graduate. Students who are unsuccessful candidates for a specific graduation date should contact their respective Dean’s office regarding the procedure for re-applying for another graduation date. Students must have satisfactorily completed the English Competency Exam (ECE) prior to applying for graduation. Students must also complete the College BASE Examination to be eligible for graduation. JACKSONVILLE, ALABAMA 37 STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY FOR DEGREE REQUIREMENTS It is the responsibility of each student to become familiar with degree requirements, graduation requirements, and all other aspects of satisfactory academic progress. Each student is assigned an academic advisor to assist in planning course schedules and give advice on timely graduation planning. However, the ultimate responsibility for understanding and completing degree and graduation requirements lies with the student. TESTS AND EXAMINATIONS Students who miss examinations or announced classroom assignments for legitimate reasons may take make-ups, which shall be scheduled by the instructor at a reasonable time and under reasonable conditions. No fee will be charged or penalty incurred (either in the nature of examinations or grading). The legitimacy of the excuse for missing the test is to be determined by the individual instructor. No regularly announced examination or final examination may be administered for the second time to the same student. ENGLISH COMPETENCY EXAMINATION (ECE) Undergraduate students must successfully complete the University ECE. Students who have completed EH 101 and 102 and have earned 60 semester hours are eligible to take the examination. Students are strongly advised to complete this examination during the junior year. Students must pass the ECE before filing an application for graduation. Students register for the examination in the English Department, Room 215, Stone Center. The ECE is given once each fall and spring semester. Students who have passed the writing section of the Georgia Regents’ Test are exempt from the ECE. Students must present evidence of satisfactory completion to the Registrar’s Office. STUDENT OUTCOMES ASSESSMENT (College BASE Examination) To assess and improve its academic programs, the University must obtain periodic measurements of student perceptions and intellectual growth. As a requirement for graduation, all seniors must take a general education achievement test (currently, the College BASE Examination) and complete a Graduating Senior Questionnaire. Additionally, some programs require that their majors take a comprehensive test of achievement in the discipline. Students may also be required to participate in other evaluations of University programs and services. The information obtained through these assessment procedures is used solely to improve the quality of the educational experience for future generations of JSU students. For information on the C-BASE contact Counseling Services at (256) 782 5475. CORRESPONDENCE COURSES Credit obtained through correspondence courses from other accredited colleges or universities may be counted towards graduation, provided that the total work done through correspondence does not exceed 12 semester hours. Only hours on which a “C” grade or better has been earned will be accepted. No credit is granted for courses through correspondence in the following areas: English composition and grammar, speech, professional education courses, beginning and intermediate foreign language courses, and science courses with required laboratories. Written approval must be obtained from the appropriate Dean prior to registering for correspondence work. DISTANCE EDUCATION Jacksonville State University strives to meet the needs of all students. Distance Education enhances this capability by utilizing the ever-expanding set of technological tools to reach students who may otherwise have been unable to participate in the university setting. With alternative media such as videoconferencing and online courses, students from all walks of life can participate in the university environment while continuing with busy work and personal schedules. Greater flexibility in scheduling provided by Distance Education courses enables JSU to draw from a pool of students from all areas 38 JACKSONVILLE STATE UNIVERSITY of society. These courses provide students with the education and tools that they need to reach their goals, whether these goals are professional or personal. Distance learning provides an outstanding level of education to every student. Online In meeting the needs of the 21st century, Jacksonville State University is committed to offering courses for online distribution. A growing number of graduate and undergraduate courses, as well as full degree programs, are being offered online. Convenient to students who are unable to travel to JSU’s main campus, online courses save time and travel expenses. Examinations may be administered on campus or at a distance Students unable to attend on campus examinations should review the following website for more information on proctoring specifications: http://distance.jsu.edu/ DLProctoring.html. Students communicate with their instructor through e-mail, asynchronous discussion, and live chats. Videoconferencing Jacksonville State University brings videoconferencing experiences to the students of Northeast Alabama and West Georgia. Videoconferencing is ideal for commuting students, allowing them to save valuable time otherwise spent driving to class. Instead of traveling to JSU, students can attend class at JSU-Gadsden, Oxford High School Learning Resource Center, Snead State Community College, Northeast Alabama Community College, Cherokee County Career and Technology Center, and the Joe Ford Center in Gadsden, as well as many other locations in both Alabama and Georgia. Videoconferencing allows for live interactive communication to any point in the world using combined television and computer technologies. The format encourages students to actively participate with their instructors and other class members at different locations. Video-Based Courses Courses are also offered through a combination of videocassette and limited oncampus class meetings. Video-Based courses may combine videocassettes with on-campus study sessions, text book, reading assignments and laboratory opportunities. Office of Distance Education For further information about distance learning, students should contact the Office of Distance Education, (256) 782-8172 or toll free at 1-800-231-JAX1, extension 8172.

EVALUATION OF MILITARY CREDITS Advanced standing in accordance with that which is recommended by the American Council on Education and in accordance with University policy will be given to veterans who apply for it. Veterans desiring such credit must make application to the Registrar’s Office by completing the appropriate forms and presenting a copy of their discharge and an official statement of educational experience and training. EARNING TRANSIENT CREDIT JSU students who are in good academic standing may attend a regionally accredited college or university as transient students to take acceptable course work. Students must have approval from the Registrar’s Office prior to enrolling with another college. Students should note: (1) Course equivalencies should be checked with the JSU Registrar’s Office. (2) Students who are dually enrolled with JSU and another institution must abide by the JSU course load policy. (3) Students attending a junior/community college must earn 64 semester hours from a senior institution.

JACKSONVILLE, ALABAMA 39 Servicemembers Opportunity College (SOC) The Service Members Opportunity College is a network of colleges and universities providing educational opportunities to the servicemember or civilian whose course work is interrupted by military or civilian obligation which has necessitated his/her relocation. The SOC program is coordinated through the Offices of Continuing Education and Registrar. Students in the SOC program must meet admission requirements to Jacksonville State University and fulfill all general academic regulations as outlined in the university catalogue. The student may take a significant amount of course work from an accredited college or university and have that course work applied to a degree through Jacksonville State University. It is the student’s responsibility to work closely with the appropriate Academic Dean and the Registrar’s Office in taking course work from other institutions which is designed to apply toward degree requirements at Jacksonville State University. NON-TRADITIONAL CREDIT The maximum hours allowed for non-traditional credit (CLEP, military service schools, etc.) is 46 semester hours. Non-traditional credit awarded by Jacksonville State University is not considered as resident credit. CLEP (College Level Examination Program) Jacksonville State University grants credit for appropriate CLEP scores. Students enrolling or enrolled at Jacksonville State University who are interested in attempting College Level Examinations should consult Counseling and Career Services on the third floor, Theron Montgomery Building. The maximum credit attainable by CLEP is 31 semester hours for the general examinations and 15 semester hours for the subject examinations. A student may not receive CLEP credit for any previously attempted college course or for a basic course in those in which he/she has acceptable college credit for more advanced courses. No examination may be repeated in an attempt to receive credit. CLEP POLICY Students enrolled at Jacksonville State University may be awarded college credit on the College-Level Examination Program (CLEP). The test scores are equated with specific courses in the current Jacksonville State University catalog. Contact Counseling and Career Services on the third floor of the Theron Montgomery Building (305 TMB) for an application and to register for the CLEP. It is the student’s responsibility to ascertain eligibility for possible aware of CLEP credit. A student is not eligible to receive CLEP credit for course(s): 1. if earned academic credit has been accepted by Jacksonville State University for that course. 2. if course attempted by CLEP has been previously attempted at collegiate institution. 3. in those areas where earned academic credit for more advanced courses has been earned – resident transfer. (If in doubt, consult with Registrar’s Office before you register for CLEP.) 4. by repeating CLEP examinations. 5. if the CLEP examination offers two semester credit and earned academic credit for one of the semesters has been accepted by Jacksonville State University. (Two semester CLEP examinations are identified with an asterisk.) Test results are evaluated by the Registrar’s Office and recorded on a student’s transcript if credit is awarded. Semester hours of credit toward graduation are awarded on the basis of CLEP tests but no grades or quality points are given. Therefore, CLEP credits will not affect grade point average (GPA). 40 JACKSONVILLE STATE UNIVERSITY EXAMINATIONS AND CREDIT AWARDED I.

JACKSONVILLE, ALABAMA 43 UNIVERSITY JUDICIAL SYSTEM DISCIPLINARY POLICY Jacksonville State University has both a right and an obligation to set reasonable standards of conduct for students who voluntarily and willingly choose to become members of the University community. In conjunction with its rights to set up reasonable standards, the University also assumes the right and accepts the responsibility to establish a system of judicial and disciplinary procedures to use when University policies have been violated. In turn, the University recognizes the need to insure that students have the right to due process and fair and equitable procedures in the event they are charged with a violation of University policies. The authority which the University exercises in charging and disciplining students for violations of its regulations differs from the power exercised by civil authorities in prosecuting cases of general law. Whereas criminal courts often seek to punish or deter unlawful behavior, it is generally accepted the judicial proceedings at educational institutions are intended to impress upon individuals their responsibilities or, in the most severe cases, to remove by suspension or expulsion those who should not remain in the academic community. The federal courts have called discipline in academic settings part of the teaching/learning process. (Much of the disciplinary procedure is authorized to be administered through the Student Government Association (SGA), and the JSU Judicial Coordinator, but the University does maintain jurisdiction to prevent obstruction of its lawful mission, processes, and functions.) Specific University Judicial Policies are outlined in the Jacksonville State University Student Handbook. Registration as a student at the University implies that students will familiarize themselves with and adhere to these published policies, as well as other regulations which apply to a student’s particular situation. Students are expected to obey the laws of the United States, the State of Alabama and the City of Jacksonville. The Jacksonville State University Student Handbook is available on the Internet at http://www.jsu.edu/depart/handbook. A hard copy may be obtained from the Office of Student Affairs, 102 Bibb Graves Hall. Jacksonville State University has adopted a Judicial System which depends largely on the participation of students and faculty. The University Judicial Coordinator has been designated as the supervising official for the judicial system. Violations of University policies should be reported to the University Judicial Coordinator. The judicial process is outlined as follows: Associate Vice Administrative President for Disciplinary Student Affairs Hearing— University Appeal Judicial Coordinator ➔ ➔ Review SGA Judicial Court 3 students 2 faculty Chairperson (non-voting) President of the University (in cases of Review Suspension or Expulsion) ➔ 44 JACKSONVILLE STATE UNIVERSITY GENERAL INFORMATION POLICY ON PRIVACY RIGHTS OF STUDENTS NOTIFICATION BY THE UNIVERSITY At least annually the University shall notify its eligible students of its policy on privacy rights of a student as follows: 1.

The factors which should be taken into account in determining whether records may be released under this section include the following: The seriousness of the threat to the health or safety of the student or other persons; the need for such records to meet the emergency; whether the persons to whom such records are released are in a position to deal with the emergency; and the extent to which time is of the essence in dealing with the emergency. (e) No personal information on a student will be released without a written statement from the University to the party receiving the information that no other party is to have access to such information without the consent in writing of the eligible student. 5. The USA Patriot Act (USAP) amends the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) to permit education institutions to disclose education records to federal law enforcement officials without student consent as follows: 46 JACKSONVILLE STATE UNIVERSITY (a) By certifying that “specific and articulable facts” support the request, a U.S. Assistant Attorney General or higher-ranking official may obtain an ex parte court order that requires an educational institution to turn over education records considered relevant to a terrorism investigation. (1) Institutions do not violate FERPA by responding to such an order without student consent. (2) The institution need not make a record of the disclosure, as FERPA ordinarily requires. (3) A College or university “shall not be liable to any person; for good faith disclosure of education records in response to such an ex parte order. 6. Release of Student Transcript: In accordance with the Buckley/Pell Amendment to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, 1974, Jacksonville State University requires a signed letter of authorization or a signed JSU Transcript Request Form, with the original signature of the student making the request, in order to release that student’s transcript(s). Additionally, the signed request must include the name and address of the institution or individual who is to receive the transcript(s), and the appropriate payment for the transcript(s). Fax requests will be accepted with the inclusion of a Visa/Mastercard, or Discover number along with expiration date of card in addition to the aforementioned information.

Transcripts may not be faxed to an individual due to the many questions of legal validity and real identity of the recipient of the Fax message. A transcript cannot be released to another individual without written authorization from the student. Telephone requests will not be accepted. Transcripts may be mailed directly to an institution or individual from the JSU Registrar’s Office, issued directly to the student (stamped “ISSUED TO STUDENT”), or sealed in a JSU envelope “UNOFFICIAL IF ENVELOPE SEAL IS BROKEN”). Transcripts may NOT be released if the student account currently has a balance or special HOLD at the time the transcript request is processed.

PRE-HEALTH PROFESSIONS Jacksonville State University provides the necessary academic experience for students who plan to seek admission to a health professional school in medicine, dentistry, optometry, physical therapy, pharmacy, veterinary medicine, as well as various paramedical programs including physician assistant. In most instances, students are expected to have completed a four-year program of study leading to a baccalaureate degree. While a specific major is not required for the health professions, most students who successfully matriculate in a health professional school including medical school, have elected a major in biology or chemistry. Admission to a health professional school will require successful performance on the appropriate entrance examination (the MCAT, DAT, VAT, OCAT, etc.), a GPA of 3.2 or higher that has been achieved through a rigorous program of study, and a successful personal interview. These achievements are usually preceded by a serious dedication to their academic studies and a high degree of competitiveness that has been achieved through activities that demonstrate critical thinking and problem-solving skills, such as undergraduate research. The student must be well prepared prior to seeking admission; in general, this means a basic working knowledge of biology (17 semester hours or more), chemistry (16 semester hours or more), and often physics (8 semester hours or more). Advanced course work in biology and/or chemistry are highly recommended. Admission requirements to specific schools do vary; therefore, the student who is considering a health profession as a career must seek advice from a pre-health professional adviser very early in their course of study. The student should plan their academic program carefully, taking the specific courses required for admission to their school of choice. To insure a successive and positive academic experience, the student should maintain a close working relationship with their adviser. For this purpose, Jacksonville State University maintains a Health Careers Office in the Biology Department. Additional information on careers in the health professions may be found online at http://www.jsu.edu/depart/ biology.html. PRE-LEGAL COURSES Nearly all accredited law schools require that a student have an undergraduate degree in order to enter law school. There is no single prescribed course of study which pre-law students must follow in order to gain admission to law school. The course most generally recommended is a 58 JACKSONVILLE STATE UNIVERSITY Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in one of the social sciences. Majors in political science and economics are especially recommended as they provide the lawyer with an excellent background for relations with government and business. In addition to having an undergraduate degree, pre-law students are required to take the Law School Admission Test (LSAT) prior to entering law school. This should be done early in the student’s senior year. Application forms for taking the LSAT may be secured from the Head of the Political Science Department. COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES HONORS PROGRAM In keeping with the University’s mission of serving the academic needs of a diverse student population, the College of Arts and Sciences Honors Program was established to provide academically gifted students with the opportunity to develop fully their intellectual potential. The Honors Program provides an enriched educational experience by fostering a strong grounding in the liberal arts and sciences, small classes, interaction with other outstanding and motivated students, instruction from some of JSU’s most innovative and engaging faculty, special activities, and special recognition for students successfully completing eighteen hours or more of Honor’s courses. JSU offers Honors courses in the arts, humanities, sciences, social sciences, and mathematics, which fulfill freshman and sophomore course requirements. Incoming students are invited for admission to the Honors Program based on ACT or SAT test scores. Since test scores may not always provide a complete picture of ability, students may consult with the department head about enrolling in Honors classes. For further information, contact the Director of the Honors Program, College of Arts and Sciences, Jacksonville State University, 700 Pelham Road North, Jacksonville, AL 36265. JACKSONVILLE, ALABAMA 59 COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES Dean: J. E. Wade Associate Dean: Lisa Williams MISSION The College of Arts and Sciences offers courses in humanities, arts, and sciences to support the University’s general studies curriculum and educational programs, as well as traditional liberal arts, professional, and graduate programs of study leading to baccalaureate and master’s degrees. The College gives highest priority to the quality of teaching delivered by its diverse and highly qualified faculty, while recognizing and promoting scholarly efforts, creative endeavors, and service, internal and external to Jacksonville State University. Using available resources, the College strives continuously for academic excellence, while keeping in mind the needs of its students. Requirements for Admission to the College of Arts and Sciences Benchmarks for Success NOTICE All new Arts and Sciences majors must meet the Benchmarks-for-Success standard. A new student entering the University in Arts and Sciences is defined as a freshman, transfer student, or a change of major from another College to Arts and Sciences. Prior to admission to a degree program in the College of Arts and Sciences and prior to enrollment in any upper-level (300+) coursework beyond 80 semester hours, the student must meet the following criteria: 1. A minimum overall 2.0 GPA for the first 80 semester hours must be achieved; 2. English 101 and 102, or official transfer equivalents, must be successfully completed by 80 semester hours; 3. The English Competency Exam (ECE) must be attempted by 80 semester hours; failure to complete successfully the ECE by 96 semester hours voids the student’s admission into the College, and no further upper-level coursework may be taken; and 4. All math requirements for the degree program must be successfully completed by 80 semester hours. Upon completion of the benchmarks by 80 semester hours, and following department review and approval, students will be provisionally accepted to enter a degree program in the College of Arts and Sciences. Full admission to the degree program is contingent upon completion of all requirements.

DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY (BY) 242 MARTIN HALL Department Head: Frank Romano Professors: Al-Hamdani, Benton, Cline, Debro, Olander, Romano, Whetstone Associate Professors: Blair, Meade, Rayburn, Sauterer Assistant Professors: Carter, Hamissou The Department of Biology offers a diverse spectrum of undergraduate courses in the biological sciences that enables a student to develop an understanding and appreciation of life – from molecular to ecological – and to develop a strong academic background necessary for pursuing graduate study or a career in biology or the health professions. The Department recognizes the importance of both content and process in science education and thus offers the opportunity to develop communication skills and engage in undergraduate research in the biological sciences. The Bachelor of Science degree with a Major in Biology requires an overall minimum of 128 hours and includes 41 hours of state articulated general studies courses and a minimum of 52 hours of 300/400 courses. The Major in Biology requires a minimum 66 JACKSONVILLE STATE UNIVERSITY of 39 hours in biology and 23 hours in supporting courses. It also requires an approved minor of 18 hours or more. At least 12 hours of the 300/400 courses for the major and 6 hours for the minor must be taken in residence at JSU. Once the student has met the requirements for the major and minor, the hours remaining to complete the 128 hours overall and 52 hours of 300/400 will be classified as electives. A student must earn a 2.0 GPA overall and on campus. After completing a common core of biology courses, the Biology major may choose a concentration from the Program listing below. The Program in Ecology/Environmental Biology is designed for those majors who plan to enter graduate school or have careers in ecological or environmental research, environmental assessment, or education. The Program in Marine Biology is for majors who plan to enter graduate school or have careers in marine biology research, environmental assessment, or education. The Department is an active member of Alabama’s Marine Environmental Sciences Consortium. Summer study at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab is required. The Program in Pre-Health Professional Biology is for those majors who intend to seek admission to such health professions as medicine, dentistry, physical therapy, etc., or graduate study in the biomedical sciences. The Program in Animal Biology or the Program in Plant Biology is intended for those majors who plan graduate study in organismal biology or who plan to pursue careers in biological education or conservation biology or as a naturalist. The Program in Cellular and Molecular Biology is for those majors who plan graduate study in biotechnology, cell and molecular biology, or biochemistry or who plan to pursue careers in academic, industrial and/or biotechnology settings. The Department also offers a Minor in Biology and Special Studies. Advising—Students who plan to earn the B.S. degree in Biology must consult with the Department of Biology for advisement early in their plan of study and every semester thereafter. New students should consult the Department’s freshman advisor before or during their first semester. Transfer students should meet with either the Department’s transfer advisor or a program advisor before or immediately upon transferring. To complete the Biology Degree Program, the major must plan carefully, since science laboratories can cause scheduling conflicts. An advisor can alert students to potential problems and assist in minimizing such conflicts. It is recommended that the Biology major complete the biology core of genetics, cell biology, ecology, and research in biology early in the course of study. Careful planning will facilitate the opportunity for undergraduate research. Additional departmental, program, advising, and career information is available on the Internet at www.jsu.edu/depart/biology.

BREWER DEPARTMENT OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE 126 BREWER HALL Department Head: TO BE ANNOUNCED Professor: Evans Associate Professors: Davis, Mellen, Wood Assistant Professor: Dial CRIMINAL JUSTICE MAJOR The Department of Criminal Justice merges liberal arts and professional studies into a well-balanced curriculum. A Bachelor of Science with a major in Criminal Justice is a solid foundation for law school or graduate study, in addition to being a superb preparation for employment in the rapidly growing field of criminal justice. The core courses provide a basic understanding of the nature of crime and society’s reaction to crime, as well as an in-depth investigation of the various components within the Criminal Justice System. Studies in concentration areas provide students the opportunity to acquire knowledge and skills which enhance future employment and serve as a basis for advanced studies. ACADEMIC CONCENTRATIONS Concentration in Corrections. This concentration prepares students for working with individuals who have been placed under the custody of the correctional system. The purpose of corrections is two-fold: to punish individuals who have committed crimes and to rehabilitate those same individuals for successful re-entry into society. Studies in juvenile justice examine the treatment of juvenile offenders. Concentration in Forensic Investigations. This concentration prepares students for careers as criminal investigators or crime scene technicians. It provides insights into basic investigative skills, as well as specialized skills in drug, homicide, sex offenses, child abuse, and arson investigations. The main theme of Forensic Investigations, however, is crime scene processing, identification and collection of physical evidence, and the presentation of evidence into a court of law. Concentration in Law Enforcement. This concentration focuses on the study of the role and functions of police organizations as agents of crime prevention in a democratic society, including an understanding of police history, organizational structure, policies, planning, and coordination between various police organizations. The importance of establishing and maintaining positive, supportive relations with the public is an area of special interest. Concentration in Security Administration/Loss Prevention. This concentration examines the role of private security in the United States. Students will learn of the relationship between private and corporate security and public police organizations and the role of private security in all aspects of American society. Studies include an examination of hotel/motel security, security and loss prevention in industry, contract security services, private investigations, alarm services, and general crime prevention. In addition, the student will receive an overview of the basic management practices and operational skills used in private security.

In the sixth and final semester of study, each student will present a public recital. To aid the student in preparing for this final project, the Music Department offers a special seminar under the guidance of the applied music instructor. Normally, all six semesters should be taken in the same subject (voice, piano, clarinet, etc.). In exceptional cases, a change from one subject to another may be permitted in the major area with the approval of the instructors involved and the department head, but in such cases the student will be expected to declare clearly what subject his/her major instrument is and to pass the junior seminar work in that instrument. 2 Every music student is encouraged to participate in as many ensembles as possible, each for one hour’s credit, since practical experience of this kind will prove invaluable to the student in future teaching careers. Each student is required to participate in a large ensemble representing his or her certification area (instrumental or vocal/ choral). This selection includes Marching Southerners, Wind Ensemble, Symphonic Band, Concert Band, Jazz Ensemble, Orchestra, A Cappella Choir, and Chorus. Any deviation in the selection of required ensembles must have the written approval of the head of the Music Department. 3 Students may choose from MU 301, 302, 316, 317, 318 or PHS 350 to fulfill this requirement. 4 For Instrumental Music Education: MU 360, 380, 381, 390, 391.

Beginning with mechanics and motion, we develop methods for mathematically describing the way objects move and predicting their future movement. The course proceeds to study wave motion with springs, strings, water, sound, and light. We will take advantage of the power of calculus to depict movement by weaving its structure into our physical laws and theories. Since the development of both calculus and Newtonian mechanics by Sir Isaac Newton, calculus and physics have been intertwined and students in this course will see these close connections. Credit will not be granted for both 201 and 211. 211L. Elementary Laboratory Techniques I (0). Concurrent enrollment in PHS 201 or 211 is required. Two laboratory hours each week. Concepts of physics developed in the associated courses will be studied through the use of hands-on activities. Students will work in groups to explore topics in motion, mechanics, waves, and sound. 212. Physics for Scientists and Engineers II (5). Prerequisites: PHS 211, MS 126. Concurrent enrollment in PHS 212L is required. The second semester of this sequence begins by studying electricity and basic circuits, followed by magnetism. A section on light including lenses and mirrors follows. The behavior of light waves such as rainbows and soap bubbles will also be explored. Finally, topics from quantum mechanics and special relativity are introduced to give students a flavor of the revolutionary nature of these topics in their original scientific setting. Once again, calculus will be used throughout the course. Credit will not be granted for both 202 and 212. 212L. Elementary Laboratory Techniques II (0). Concurrent enrollment in PHS 202 or 212 is required. Two laboratory hours each week. Concepts of physics developed in the associated courses will be studied through the use of hands-on activities. Students will work in groups to explore topics in electricity, magnetism, optics, and modern physics. 150 JACKSONVILLE STATE UNIVERSITY COURSES FOR WHICH PHS 202 OR 212 ARE PREREQUISITES 342.

Fielding Accredited by AACSB International – The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business MISSION STATEMENT Statement of Purpose The primary mission of the College of Commerce and Business Administration is to provide high quality undergraduate and graduate management education, primarily for the citizens of Northeast Alabama. Our educational programs are designed to prepare students for leadership roles in the dynamic, global environment of organizations. Complementing our primary responsibility of excellence in teaching, we also value faculty scholarship and service. The faculty, staff, and administration of the College are committed to continuously improve the quality of our academic programs, our student support activities, and our service to the local and regional communities. Teaching We seek to provide our students with an educational experience through which they become literate, articulate, and broadly educated individuals, who are knowledgeable in fundamental economic principles, the business disciplines, and the impact of global forces on domestic affairs. We seek for our graduates to be perceived as leaders of society, not simply business managers. Employers of our graduates should be confident they are hiring individuals who are computer literate, ethical, globally aware, analytical, decision-making professionals, and who possess fully developed oral, written, and interpersonal communication skills. They should be able to adapt to rapidly changing technology, and recognize diversity in the workplace. We seek to take a leadership role in the provision of management education for those individuals requiring retraining as a result of the rapid and massive structural changes in the U.S. economy. The faculty seek to be recognized as excellent teachers and scholars, dedicated first and foremost to the development of students, through effective teaching, advising, and mentoring. Intellectual Contributions The College values basic research, applied research, and instructional development activities of the faculty. The College believes that teaching and scholarly activity are interdependent; that research enhances faculty effectiveness in the classroom and provides students with state-of-the-art business knowledge. Internal Interaction We believe collegiality demands that faculty be good citizens of their respective departments, the College, and the University. Faculty are encouraged to actively participate in the governance of the institution through service on committees. External Interaction The College seeks to take a leadership role in the economic development of the State of Alabama, specifically its Northeast region. Faculty are expected to be a resource for the economic development of the State and region by extending their knowledge, skills, and values to society. Interaction with external constituents is fostered through a variety of efforts to include guest speakers, executives-in-residence, and advising groups. Outreach activities are encouraged through the support of faculty, staff, students, and alumni in continuing education, consulting, internships, and field projects. The faculty seek to assume leadership roles in professional and civic organizations that provide a positive impact on the community and the region through service on State or regional commissions, boards, or committees. We strive to enhance the quality of life in North- JACKSONVILLE, ALABAMA 169 east Alabama and in the State by fostering participation in professional and civic activities, and by our involvement in continuing education programs. Vision Statement The College aspires to be recognized as one of the premier public regional undergraduate schools of business in the Southeast.

Programs in the College enable graduates to become creative-decision-makers who can effectively solve problems using concepts and practices appropriate for each discipline. The College meets the changing needs of the region, state, and nation through wide-ranging service and research activities. These activities develop problem-solving strategies and assist in social, educational, and economic development. The uniqueness of the College is reflected through the diversity of programs and services which make up the College. The programs in Education, Dietetics, Merchandising, and Restaurant and Foodservice Management, Exercise Science and Wellness, Recreation Leadership, Counseling, Mass Communication, and Technology are designed to enable graduates to effectively solve problems using concepts and practices appropriate for each discipline in a creative decision-making process. The faculty of the College of Education and Professional Studies adopted “The Developing Education Professional as Creative Decision-Maker” as its model, or metaphor, for teacher preparation programs. As with any creative endeavor, teachers must understand their message, audience, medium tools, and process and must make creative decisions in all these areas. They must prepare to take on the challenge of the decision-making process with the full knowledge that their educational advancement, and consequently that of the students they serve, requires a personal commitment to lifelong learning. The various programs thus structured prepare teachers who enter the field armed with knowledge gleaned from both its rich history and its state-of-the-art scholarship. The College of Education and Professional Studies offers programs that are fully accredited by the National Association of Industrial Technology (NAIT), American Dietetics Association (ADA), and the Alabama State Board of Education. The College of Education and Professional Studies at Jacksonville State University is accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE), 2010 Massachusetts Avenue NW, Suite 500, Washington, D.C. 20036, phone: (202) 466-7496. This accreditation includes the initial teacher preparation and advanced levels of professional education programs offered at the institution. Graduates of Jacksonville State University’s College of Education and Professional Studies benefit from associate membership in the National Association of State Directors of Teacher Education and Certification (NASDTEC), allowing transferability of teaching credentials. These programs lead to the baccalaureate degree.

DEPARTMENT OF TECHNOLOGY & ENGINEERING 153 Ayers Hall Department Head: Marbut Assistant Professor: Bekhouche, Bellman, Ingalsbe Instructors: Godbey, Marbut The Department of Technology and Engineering offers a Bachelor of Science degree with four separate majors in various applied areas of technology. Additionally, the department offers a minor in Technology, a 2-year Pre-Engineering program, a minor in Basic Engineering, and a Technology Education option for students majoring in Secondary Education. Courses leading to the Bachelor of Science degree are offered for the following majors: Computer Integrated Manufacturing Systems Technology, Electronics Technology, Occupational Safety and Health Technology, and Technology. Requirements for the comprehensive degree programs (Computer Integrated Manufacturing Systems Technology, Electronics Technology, Occupational Safety and Health Technology, and Technology with Industrial Management Concentration) include 66-67 semester hours of technology courses. Students completing these programs are not required to have a minor in another academic discipline. Students may elect to obtain a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Technology with approved minor. The requirements for this degree include 48 semester hours of technology courses. All of the Technology degrees focus on the technological needs of manufacturing industries and, as degree programs of study, are designed to prepare management-oriented technical professionals. Programs offered within the Department involve the application of the knowledge and understanding of materials and production processes, concepts of management and human relations, safety, quality, marketing, communications, electronics, graphics, mathematics, physical sciences, and computer fundamentals in a problemsolving approach. JACKSONVILLE, ALABAMA 225 The four technology majors have unique provisions for persons already in the workforce and/or two-year college graduates who desire to continue their education and obtain a baccalaureate degree. Technical specialty credit (up to 36 semester hours) is awarded to students who have completed a diploma or associate degree from an approved technical, community, or junior college in an approved technical field. Technical specialty credit may also be awarded for approved management, supervisory, or technical work experience (3 semester hours per year for a minimum of 3 years up to a maximum of 6 years), or approved professional certification programs. In no case will technical specialty credit awarded exceed 36 semester hours, and it will only be awarded to students pursuing a major that is offered by the Department of Technology and Engineering. The Department also offers a Technology minor to benefit students majoring in other fields. The minor features a broad offering of courses in technology, including electronics, industrial management, manufacturing, production, quality, and safety. A minor in Technology requires a minimum of 21 hours consisting of: TEC 343, 361, 371, 380 and 9 additional semester hours in the same technical specialty area. Students majoring in any program offered through the Technology and Engineering department will not be eligible for the Technology minor. The two-year Pre-Engineering program offers a curriculum that will permit the majority of students to transfer with junior standing to most undergraduate engineering programs at other colleges and universities. A suggested pre-engineering program would include EH 101, 102, 141; HY 101, 102 or 201, 202; EC 221; CY 105, 106, 107, 108; MS 141, 142, 241, 344; PHS 211, 211L, 212, 212L; and EG 121, 201, 202, and 255. The Basic Engineering minor is designed for students who wish to gain knowledge in basic engineering to attend graduate school or to work in engineering-related careers in industry or government. This minor requires: EG 112, 121, 226, 201, 202, 255, 343, 361, and 373. In addition, a minor in basic engineering must present credit for CY 105, 106, 107, 108; MS 141, 142, 241, 344; PHS 211, 211L, 212, and 212L. High school students preparing for admission to the engineering programs are urged to strengthen their background in mathematics and the physical sciences. Algebra, plane geometry, trigonometry, solid geometry, general science, physics, chemistry, and any advanced mathematics are all beneficial subjects for those wishing to study engineering. The program in Secondary Education offers a Technology Education option that provides students the opportunity to obtain a Class B teaching certificate. The program in Technology Education is designed to prepare graduates to teach in Career Technologies Programs in middle and high school. Certification in Technology Education requires 30 hours in the teaching field (technology courses). Students must see the Department of Technology and Engineering for advisement concerning these classes.

WALLACE COLLEGE OF NURSING AND HEALTH SCIENCES WALLACE HALL Accredited by: Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education One Dupont Circle, NW, Suite 530 Washington, DC 20036-1120 (202) 887-6791 Acting Dean: Sarah Latham Professors: Hembree, Latham Assistant Professor: Curry, Williams Instructors: Beam, Bertalan, Black, Bougere, Brothers, DeWeese, Elkins, Frank, Garcia, Hillhouse, Morrison, Shelton, Wright The Lurleen B. Wallace College of Nursing and Health Sciences is approved by the Alabama Board of Nursing, which entitles its graduates to apply to write the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN). The College is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education. Accreditation is an indication of public approbation, attesting to the quality of the educational program and the continued commitment of the sponsoring institution to support the program. Students begin the nursing program by taking academic, prerequisite courses. A separate application is filed to request admission into the clinical portion (upper division) of nursing. The College admits students into the upper division of nursing in the spring and fall of each year. Those seeking admission to nursing must contact the Director of Student Services in the College of Nursing and Health Sciences at least three months prior to date of entry to establish records for acceptance and complete the application process. Entry into the upper division of nursing requires completion of all prerequisite courses with a Grade Point Average (GPA) of 2.50 or above and a minimum grade of “C” in each prerequisite course. If a course is taken more than one time, all grades earned are used in the calculation of the GPA. Students may only repeat courses in which they have previously earned a “D” or “F” grade. If students repeat a course more than once, the first passing grade will be the one used in calculation of GPA. Students who do not meet the above standard are not eligible to apply for entry to upper division. Each student’s record will be reviewed as a basis for approval to enter the upper division. The review process may include a personal interview with the candidate, a background check, contact with personal references, and, if the student has been enrolled in other nursing programs, contact with previous nursing faculty. A student who has been dismissed from another upper division nursing program is not eligible to apply. The College of Nursing and Health Sciences reserves the right to limit the number of students enrolled in nursing courses in order to make the most effective use of the educational resources available. Because of limited resources, all students who qualify may not be admitted. Students must comply with all College of Nursing and Health Sciences policies for entrance into and continuation in the nursing program, which include but are not limited to, a clear criminal background check and drug screen. The student is advised to review qualifications for licensure as well as grounds for denial of licensure before beginning the nursing major. Qualifications for licensure by examination include: high school graduation or equivalent, good moral character, successful completion of requirements for graduation from a Board-approved registered nurse program, not in violation of Code of Alabama, 1975, Section 34-21-25, or Alabama Board of Nursing Administrative Code 610-X-8-01 and 610-X-8-05. While an applicant may meet the above qualifications, final approval to take the licensure examination and become licensed in Alabama is subject to action by the Board of Nursing. JACKSONVILLE, ALABAMA 235 Grounds for denial of an RN license by examination include but are not limited to: conviction of a felony, conviction of a misdemeanor or felony involving moral turpitude or gross immorality, conviction of a state or federal law related to controlled substances (may be either a misdemeanor or a felony), failure to show good moral character as pertaining to nursing, abuse of, or addiction to, alcohol or other drugs, being mentally incompetent, unprofessional conduct, false representation of facts on application for licensure (Code of Alabama, 1975, Section 34-21-25; Alabama Board of Nursing Administrative code 610 X-8-01 and 610-X-8-05). A criminal and/or drug history could result in denial of permission to take the licensure examination. Applicants must also disclose (on the application to take the licensure exam) arrests that did not result in convictions and attach those court records to the application. Misdemeanors must also be disclosed. DESCRIPTION OF COURSES NURSING (NU) 121. Ethics in Nursing (3).

The program provides a Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) program with a mission of commissioning students as officers in the Army upon completion of a baccalaureate degree. Satisfactory completion of the program may lead to a minor in Military Science. The program provides students an opportunity to learn and practice leadership skills necessary in the Army and in society. The emphasis of the program is on leadership development. Students are challenged to apply accepted leadership theory to practical situations. A theoretic basis of knowledge is developed through attendance in Military Science classes and courses offered in colleges throughout the University. The program is only available to full-time students. ENROLLMENT There are two program options: A four-year program and a two-year program. These two programs are addressed below. Under some circumstances, it is possible to complete the program in less than two years. Students can obtain information on alternative programs by contacting the ROTC Department at 256-782-5601. The four-year program is divided into two phases, the Basic Course and the Advanced Course. Basic: The Basic Course is taken during the freshman and sophomore years. These courses are open to all students on an elective basis. The courses, taught to meet the requirements to enter into the Advanced Program, incur NO military obligation and are open to all registered full-time students. Basic Course curriculum focuses on introductory leadership theory, basic military knowledge and skills, and the Army’s role in national security policy and practices. Advanced: The Advanced Course is taken during the junior and senior year of the four-year program. Students in this program must have completed the Basic Course, have two years remaining in college* and enter into a contract with the United States Army to serve as an officer in the active or reserve forces upon graduation. The contractual obligation varies with the amount of participation and whether the student is a scholarship beneficiary. Advanced Course students take classes in advanced leadership and participate in leadership laboratories where they apply theories of leadership in practical situations. Enrollment in the Advanced Course requires the approval of the Professor of Military Science The two-year program is designed for students who did not take Army ROTC during their first two years of college and for students entering or progressing in a two-year postgraduate course of study.* Students can qualify for the Advanced Course in a number of ways. Prior enlisted personnel and members of the National Guard and Army Reserve receive Basic Course credit for successful completion of Basic Training. Successful completion of the four-week ROTC Leader Training Course also qualifies students for the Advanced Course. The Professor of Military Science may also award Basic Course credit for satisfactory participation in Junior ROTC or for completion of an approved alternative course of study within the Department of Military Science. Students must meet the following requirements in order to attend the Leader Training Course: Overall GPA of 2.0 or higher on a 4-point scale, have junior standing and meet medical and physical fitness standards. Approval for attendance is required from the Professor of Military Science. * It is possible to compress the Advanced Course into three semesters of study if the student’s academic program allows. JACKSONVILLE, ALABAMA 241 BASIC COURSE REQUIREMENTS The Basic Course consists of MSC 101, 101L, 102, 102L, 201, 201L, 202, 202L. These courses are mandatory for entry into the Advanced Course of instruction, unless the Professor of Military Science approves substitutions. Nursing students who desire to pursue a career as commissioned officers in the Army Nurse Corps should contact the Department of Military Science for details of a basic course program specifically tailored for the nursing discipline. In addition to meeting all ROTC requirements, the prerequisites for commissioning in the Army Nurse Corps are a baccalaureate degree in nursing and a state nursing license. ADVANCED COURSE REQUIREMENTS Entry into the ROTC Advanced Course for commissioning is open to students who have earned a GPA of 2.0 or higher, who have attained junior status, who meet established Army medical and physical fitness standards, who have completed the Basic Course requirements as noted above or received placement credit for such, who demonstrate the requisite leadership potential, and who have departmental approval. Students pursuing a commission must successfully complete the following ROTC Advanced Course classes: MSC 301, 301L, 302, 302L, 303, 305, 401, 401L, 402, and 402L. Additionally, HY 304 and approved core curriculum courses in written communications, computer literacy, math reasoning and human behavior must be successfully completed before commissioning. Contact the Department of Military Science for specific details as to approved courses. Normally during the summer before their senior year, students must attend and successfully complete the Leader Development & Assessment Course (LDAC). This course is approximately five weeks in duration. Students receive academic credit for completion (MSC 305 or NU 444 for nursing students) and are paid for their attendance and travel. ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS All contracted students are required to maintain eligibility requirements. These requirements include an appropriate grade point average, medical qualification, moral behavior, and compliance with physical fitness standards. Additionally, contracted students must participate in physical conditioning and a field training exercise each semester. COMMISSIONING Students may be commissioned once they meet all pre-commissioning requirements and are awarded a baccalaureate degree. Students commissioned as Second Lieutenants in the United States Army may serve either on Active Duty, in the Army Reserve, or in the Army National Guard. Assignments are based upon the needs of the Army and the student’s request. Students who desire a commission in the Army Reserve or Army National Guard may elect the Guaranteed Reserve Forces Duty option (if eligible) upon entry into the advanced course. SCHOLARSHIPS Competitive two, three and four-year scholarships are available to students. Fouryear scholarship deadlines are normally in November of the student’s senior year in high school. Other scholarship deadlines vary from year to year. Currently, scholarships cover the cost of tuition, fees, partial books and provide a monthly spending allowance. Limited dorm scholarships are also available. The Army National Guard and Army Reserve also offer tuition assistance and other benefits in conjunction with ROTC.
